Chinese here. It is true that in some intervals every year, only locally made movies are played in cinema. I agree it is a bad move, too. But I believe the reason is to help local movie industry to grow better. In April, we are rerunning an old Conan movie, an old Slam Dunk, as well as Titanic.
We love good movies no matter who made, just like people in any countries. But western movie industry are really decreasing. The last new western movie I watched is Avatar 2, which sucks. On the other hand, local movies do improve in many aspects. The stories are good; there are some good jokes and there are always some (our) political views expressed explicitly or implicitly. Just like those good old Hollywood movies. I'm proud to see that.
We don't prefer local movies, but we also don't hate them. Most of us will choose whichever with better quality. And the most important thing is: yes, we do have the right to choose (at least most of the time). So in my opinion, stop making excuses and try hard to make better movies.
Back in the day, people had hobbies. Collecting butterflies, studying physics, cataloging all the fungi on earth etc. Maybe today it would be more like visiting all the places Survivor filmed, or collecting a model of every sword in any Conan movie.
